Epic Racing around the World

Its about that time…time for Tinker to defend his Solo World Championship title in Canmore, Alberta.

We’ll be doing live updates throughout the weekend with updates on Tinker, his competitors, and as well - the 4 person MonavieCannondale pro team, all who will be competing multiple laps at the Canmore Nordic Centre -a mix of climbing (37%), descending (43%) and flats (23%). The length of the course is ~ 20 km or 12.25 miles, including a solo rider-only section of nearly 5 km.

I’ll be writing live updates for the 24HoursofAdrenalin.com site inbetween racing laps with Bart, Alders, and Blake..so stay tuned over the upcoming days as we arrive in Canada and set up the MonavieCannondale.com base camp and prepare our soliders for battle. The Canmore course, site of mulitple world championship events, olympics, and world cups, has seen everything from baking heat and dust to summer time monsoon deluges of hail, lighting, freezing temperatures, snow, and flooding. I’m hoping for mid 70’s, sunshine, and butterflies hovering in the meadows and clover fields, personally.

If you’re in Calgary on Thursday afternoon, stop by  Cannondale’s Bow Cycles for a meet-and-greet with Tinker and the team from 4-7pm. We’ll have posters, refreshments, team gear and schwag available as well as the athletes in a relaxed environment as we enjoy Calgary’s warm welcome.

See you there.
